This
feels like a combination home movie and love poem. And given that
it was filmed in the year of Rohmers
passing, it is something of a testimonial, too. Actor
Marie Rivière, famous for her role in Rohmers 1986
Golden Lion winner The Green Ray, borrows a video camera that she
does not quite know how to use so she can spend time filming her
friend Rohmer. I dont want to talk about myself, I only
agreed to do this if it was fun, he tells Rivière on
camera. Indeed, the mutual affection the pair share shines out of
this encounter and its infectious; its fun watching
them as they read poetry and reminisce. Sweet, deeply personal and
revealing, In the Company is a really splendid variation on
the filmed biography
